AT BLUEBONNET LAKE by Amanda Cabot

Amanda Cabot is the bestselling author of the
Texas Dreams series, the Westward Winds series, and Christmas Roses. Her books have been finalists for the ACFW Carol
Awards and the Booksellers’ Best. She lives in Wyoming. Learn more at www.amandacabot.com.

From the book’s back cover:

Her life is set to warp speed. His is slowing to
a crawl. But love has its own timing.

Marketing maven Kate Sherwood’s world is
fast-paced, challenging, and always changing. The last thing she wants to do is
grind to a halt at Rainbow’s End, a dilapidated resort in the Texas Hill
Country. Still, she cannot deny her ailing grandmother’s request to visit the
place where she and her deceased husband spent one glorious week fifty years
ago. There, Kate meets Greg, who appears to be the resort’s unassuming
handyman. But there’s more to Greg than meets the eye—billions more, in fact.

Kate isn’t looking for romance, but she can’t
deny the sparks of attraction that fly every time she and Greg are together.
Could there be a future there? Or will Kate’s long-sought promotion take her
back to the big city?

Amanda Cabot invites you to step into a place
away from the pressures of the day. You might be surprised by what you find at
Rainbow’s End.

From Jo:

I’ve never read a book by Amanda Cabot that I
didn’t like. She is a master at characterization and her settings come to life
through her vivid descriptions. This story of Kate’s journey toward
transformation will hold your interest. Good beginning to the Texas Crossroads
series.

DRIFTWOOD
TIDES by Gina Holmes

Holmes is the bestselling author of Crossing
Oceans, a Christy and Christian Book Award finalist and Carol Award winner,
and Dry as Rain, also a Christy Award
finalist. She is the founder of the influential literary site Novel Rocket,
regularly named one of Writer’s Digest top

From
the book’s back cover:He
made himself an island until something unexpected washed ashore.

When
Holton lost his wife, Adele, in a horrific accident, he shut himself off from
the world, living a life of seclusion, making driftwood sculptures and drowning
his pain in gin. Until twenty-three-year-old Libby knocks on his door, asking
for a job and claiming to be a friend of his late wife. When he discovers Libby
is actually Adele’s illegitimate daughter, given up for adoption without his
knowledge, his life is turned upside down as he struggles to accept that the
wife he’d considered a saint was not the woman he thought he knew.

Together
Holton and Libby form an unlikely bond as the two struggle to learn the
identity of Libby’s father and the truth about Adele, themselves, and each
other.

From
Jo:

Libby Slater wades through one problem
after another on her search for truth. I love the way Gina Holmes weaves the
continual layers of characters that affect Libby’s opinions of situations and
of herself. Setting is so much a part of this story, you can feel the ocean
breeze on your face and feel the sand beneath your feet. Interesting and
insightful.

Bold, sophisticated, and coy. Army Air Force
flight nurse Lt. Kay Jobson collects hearts wherever she flies, leaving men
pining in airfields all across Europe. So how can ruggedly handsome C-47 pilot
Lt. Roger Cooper be all but immune to her considerable charms? In fact, he
seems to do everything he can to avoid her.

Still, as they cross the skies between Italy and
southern France, evacuating the wounded and delivering paratroopers and
supplies, every beat of their hearts draws them closer. Can they overcome the
fears and misunderstandings of the past in order to take hold of the future?

Sarah Sundin seamlessly weaves together emotion,
action, and sweet romance into a tale that transcends time and calls us to
believe in the power of love.

From Jo:

Sarah Sundin is a superb storyteller.
In this novel she writes about a sweet romance between flight nurse Lt. Kay Jobson
and pilot Lt. Roger Cooper during World War II. Even though Kay has every other
military man yearning for her, Roger resists her—outwardly. Both Kay and Roger
have lingering hurts from the past and have difficulty believing they deserve
each other. Misunderstandings and the risks of war pull them apart yet push
them together. The reader will want to find out if Kay and Roger get past their
secrets with like minds about their relationship.
